Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
“She received some of the strongest feedback of any speaker at Summit; several comments on her compelling delivery and insightful messages. Many attendees left excited to read her book. A few suggestions for providing the book electronically, i.e. by a kindle download in the future – to avoid attendees having to carry heavy books. I think that’s a great option worth exploring.” – Candice, Manager & Education Content, NACD Event
